Regardless of how Gustaffson does in this fight I still dont see him having a chance against Jones. Anderson Silva is the one fighter i'd like to see Jones fight.

I don't like these superfights at all.  No way Silva beats Jones, no way GSP beats Silva.  

Sure they are in neighbouring weight classes but that's still such an advantage.

There's too much weight class shenanigans these days.

You say that but Silva came up to 205lb and beat the former LHW champion (Forrest Griffin) very easily.

Standing up, Silva has the skills to KO Jones.
If the UFC managed to put this fight on I would personally wet myself with excitement

Silva beats everybody nine times out of ten. Because it is so.

Jones is too intelligent and confident.  Everyone else that Silva faces buys into the mystique of his style (apart from Sonnen that one time) but Jones won't.  He'll be smart enough to adapt and go to Silva's weakest areas and then outmuscle him.

Flimber

Silva is likely to just come out and invent something like 'ear-lobe poking' or a 'flying chest-jab' on-the-fly and within the rules and then annoy the gameplan out of anyone. I'd far rather see him at GSP though. Either could be close fights.

For all of last year's talk of it being good that there was a UFC break, this current one sucks.

4 in Apr though, should be great.

And I'll be stuck in India for most of it! Aaaaaagh!

Did I mention that I hate Nick Diaz?

Nick Diaz's camp will file complaint following weigh-in controversy at UFC 158 - Bloody Elbow

What an absolute tool.
